Well the reports have been coming in at a steady pace. Not only was the cafe known to be a popular hang out for local mafioso, the victim was also known for links to traditional organized crime. That's what Canadian authorities call the Italian mafia.
They are saying now that the victim was friends with Eddie Melo. Anyone from around the GTA with a mob interest will know that name. The former boxer who had the nickname The Hurricane was once known to chaperone famous mobsters from Toronto and Montreal around the city, doubling as a bodyguard and strong-arm man. He was shot dead outside a sports bar in Mississauga in 2001. Eddie Melo was also Portuguese, like the victim.
Word is that yesterday's victim played a similar role with Italian gangsters in the city, and may have been involved in a recent coke deal gone wrong.
EDIT
I forgot to mention, the victims name was John Raposo, 35.
